This strategic role establishes target-state architectures, integration patterns, and governance frameworks, bridging local execution with global group IT strategy. Depth in at least one pillar with the technical breadth and curiosity to cover the rest is required., * Architecture & Standards: Establish target-state architectures, reference models, and design patterns across Data, AppDev, and ERP domains. Publish "golden paths" to streamline delivery. * Integration & Governance: Define integration strategy (APIs, event-driven/batch patterns, service buses, master data flows). Own enterprise data governance, data domains, policies, and quality standards. * AI & Self-Service Governance: Design governance models for AI agents, machine consumers (identity, entitlements, auditability), and citizen-developed/low-code business solutions. * Architecture Assurance & Advisory: Chair architecture reviews, lead build-vs-buy evaluations, and sequence technical debt remediation into practical roadmaps without micromanaging delivery. * Influence & Alignment: Maintain technology watches to evaluate innovations, publish Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and align local standards with parent group digital functions. ## Related Videos - [Reimagining app development with Low-code and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1651-reimagining-app-development-with-low-code-and-ai) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [What If Apps Built Themselves?
